Here's what Tusk had to say about the threat from Putin back in 2019. He knew all too well that Brexit was just the first salvo in Putin's hybrid war against the EU. A shame so many politicians in the UK are still doing Putin's bidding by refusing to rejoin.

If Iceland can join the EU and flourish in it, there's no doubt an independent Scotland could do the same!

It’s taboo to admit it, but voters bear some responsibility for the frayed state of Britain | Andy Beckett Populists blame an ever-expanding list of enemies for social ills – many of which are in fact caused by changes in our habits and social norms, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

Good piece. This isn't sufficiently acknowledged.

Polish PM Donald Tusk on Brexit,

"If we ask people in the UK about Brexit"

"65% of Brits they would vote to rejoin the EU"

"More than 80% of young people in favour of EU membership"

"Membership of the EU is something really valuable"

Exclusive: Bombshell Intelligence Report Reveals Russia Cultivated Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Watch now (6 mins) | My intelligence sources are telling me it's even worse than everyone thinks it is.

British intelligence services had come across Andrew and Fergie, not because they were looking out for them, but because they were associating with people who were of interest to them. And this would have been reported back to the head of MI6

Trump pitched his presidency on stopping foreign criminals entering the US….. but if you’re a white nationalist, hate P****, Ni***** hate Pakistani groomers but don’t mind white peadophiles, sex offenders, sexists and misogynists, the State Department will allow you privileged access.

Last night, Mr. Trump refused to either blame or even mention Putin for invading Ukraine, an evil act that has sparked the deadliest & bloodiest war in Europe since World War II. At the same time, he boasted about ending military aid to Ukraine.

With Trump, 'ALL' roads lead back to Putin!

Blue shows odds tightening, red shows odds drifting.

Greens hot favourites and coming in, Labour outsiders of three and drifting out.

If you want to oppose Reform don't waste your vote on Labour.

Labour Accused Of By-Election Dirty Tricks Over 'Fictitious' Tactical Voting Group A leaflet sent out on the eve of the crunch poll has sparked a furious backlash.

Remember the bullshit Tory HQ 'fact-checker' website run during the last General Election campaign? Well, Labour HQ has taken a leaf out of its playbook with a bullshit 'tactical voting' website.

Different rosette, same party.

If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets.

Lying to voters is all they have left.

All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

UK Govt exploring ways of easing burden of plan 2 student loans.

Why was this not done before repayment threshold freeze?

The Chancellor makes policy then backtracks. Saw this with two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment, disability benefits and more. Hands advantage to other parties.

The Labour Party really are behaving like the Tories or Reform when it comes to the Greens. They simply can't deal with the idea of another left-wing party becoming established in Britain like elsewhere in Europe. Their whole debate and approach to the Greens is 40 years behind the European reality.
